his foot speed IMO is...and its why he's able to throw 5 at a time when needed.

LOL No, not much of a claim. Keep in mind though, a lot of people thought that Cintron was going to avenge his loss to Margo in the first fight. It looks silly in hind sight, but you know what they say about hind sight...

Ill def be looking forward to seeing this, thats for sure

But yes, you may be right. Toni looks the goods right now. Cotto's been in these big fights before though. Toni? Not yet.

tony's has started fast in his last 2 fights i think a big question will be if he can sustain it for 12 rounds. he claims he learned his lesson against williams.

Tony is def legit but if he doesnt falter before the 7th its gonna be a straight clinic for 12 rounds while cotto decimates his face. Margarito got hit alot in his last fight with cintron while cotto put on an easy show against gomez. I like margarito but cotto is just too damn good and his confidence is too high at this point to doubt him in anyway.

Arum manages both, he wouldn't cry if Miguel got kayoed.

True,

But having Cotto lose his undefeated record would be devastating for a potential fight with Mayweather. He most likely would ruin his chances for that fight.

And I doubt Mayweather fights Margarito who has 5 losses on his resume and is not a big draw.

There's no possible way you believe that, Bobby. Miguel has 8-10 years of bigtime fights ahead of him. Toni probably has 3-4. Especially with his style. Cotto sells out MSG. Toni cannot possibly touch the possiblility of success that Cotto could bring. He holds an entire nation on his shoulders.

If Cotto loses, Arum might open a vein.

Arum wouldnt put someone who could beat cotto up against him. Arum does manage both and thats why I mentioned arum.

I dont think that the gomez fight will reflect how he does against margarito. I think margarito is a very good fighter where I think cotto is on the verge of greatness. Hes proved how skilled and resiliant he is, I think its time to get behind him.

As for margarito getting hit, I think it was rather clear. Cintron hit him with some big shots imo, im not saying he was ever in trouble im just saying compare that to how the gomez cotto fight went. I think its safe to say cotto will be the fresher fighter.

I've been flamed for saying so, but I don't see Cotto winning this one.

Cotto is not difficult to hit. To be fair, neither is MArgarito but I've seen MArgarito take some big shots and seem unphased. I've seen Cotto hurt a few times. I'd have to think that MArgarito has a power advantage as well.

What? Margarito took a lot of shots from Cintron, a few that looked pretty solid.
